The last week of school was short, but busy around here. This is the last week for both Ashley and Alan at their schools. In August they will both be starting at a brand new elementary school close to the house. I am excited that they will be at the same school and we will no longer have the long trek to take Alan to College Hills, but it was sad to say goodbye to their teachers. Ashley is going to miss Forest Ridge, but I am sure next year will be exciting for her.
During the last week we needed to bake
something for Ashley's 6-week project. She studied Saudi Arabia, so we decided to make some Al Mamool cookies with a mold and recipe that her Nana provided. 
First you had to fill each dough ball with some date puree, then place the dough ball in the mold.It was time consuming to mold each individual cookie, but the kids liked them and Alan had a good time helping us knock the cookies out of the mold.

The finished products! They were both very proud.
The last day of school was extremely busy. Ashley had a pig out party for her class and then Alan was destroying his classroom. His school is being torn down, so they were letting the kids paint and do some demo of their own. It was a mess and he ruined his clothes, but I am sure he had a great time.
